I'm in Northeast OH. It's VERY dry and hot here too. My ferns and even a
few hostas (Francis Williams) disappeared right after they came up. Of
course, they're planted in a spot where it's difficult to water, but
they did get some. My Annabelle Hydrangia is always beautiful, but it
too is suffering. I can't even get the plumbago to bloom much.

Maybe it rained three times since spring. Maybe. Only one was a good soak.

It's good weather for camping and baseball though.
